Introduction.

Necessity is a mother of invention.

We have heard and perhaps used this saying but when you have some comfort; you desire to extend it further. Whenever humans shape machines, he strives to improve it to be more beneficial, user-friendly and intelligent to operate. As a result, electronic devices and machines are now turning into an essential part of our lives.

The vision to make machines more intelligent is now reducing human labor to almost nil. The new days of communicating is now going beyond the laptop and smartphones. We can find it in wearable items such as smartwatches, smart rings and Google glasses to smart home systems where your electronic items are smart enough to sense when to react or you can operate it from anywhere in the world on cloud bases commands over the internet.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the trending technology of today’s era, but we never thought of where it came and how it evolved. So let’s have a look to understand the whole transformation of IoT from the beginning.

Now, to show you a glimpse of how IoT will transform our lives I have listed down a few areas where IoT is much attended and companies are preparing to surprise you and already working on mentioned areas.

1. Smart Homes
2. Smart Wearable
3. Connected Cars
4. IoT in Industrial
5. Smart Cities
6. IoT in agriculture
7. Smart retail
8. Energy Engagement
9. IoT in Health Care
10. IoT in Poultry and Farming 

For the current and upcoming era of IoT, reliable and high-speed internet has become a basic human requirement for beings, the pressure of better connectivity is one of the main reasons providers and users are looking at Fiber to the Home (FTTH) as a potential solution. In our next article, we will enlight it. Hopefully, it will be helpful for our readers to understand what FTTH is all about.
